## Description

Gives you a shortcode for Youtube-Videos and makes a preview-pic for this Video 
and realizes to watch the video with fancybox for wordpress oder prettyPhoto or 
in a extra tab. You choose, what you want.

The URL ist for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmRLJ4XvpZk
 The shortcode
is

    ```
    [ytcode ytid="XmRLJ4XvpZk"]
    [ytcode ytid="XmRLJ4XvpZk" tit="Vemma Strategie Deutsch"]
    [ytcode ytid="XmRLJ4XvpZk" tit="Vemma Strategie Deutsch" x="800" y="488"]
    [ytcode ytid="XmRLJ4XvpZk" x="800" y="488" ppic="2"]
    [ytcode ytid="XmRLJ4XvpZk" ppic="default"]
    [ytcode ytid="XmRLJ4XvpZk" fso="v"]
    ```

 * Options:
 * float=”left|none|right”
    if float is none, you can choose the alignment:
 * align=”left|center|right”
 * fso=”h|v|n”
    horizontal, vertical, none filmstripes
 * ppic=”default|1|2|3″
    takes the previewpic from youtube. This are the four possible
   picture-names.
 * vb=”prettyphoto|fancybox|blank”
    if installed it uses prettyphoto or fancybox.
   Or it opens the video in a new tab (target=”_blank”)
 * pfeil=”FF0000″
    the color of the arrow is now red

### Arbitrary section

*Known Issues:
 – Publishing an Artikel/Site or update ist can cause an error-message“
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (…)” maybe this
is theme specific or it depends to other plugins!

### A brief Markdown Example

Unordered list:

 * Make opacity from the overlay-pic with the arrow on the preview-pic adjustable
 * resizing of the previewpic doesn’t work correct!

Here’s a link to [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/) and one to [Markdown’s Syntax Documentation](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax).

Titles are optional, naturally.

Markdown uses email style notation for blockquotes and I’ve been told:

> Asterisks for _emphasis_. Double it up for **strong**.

    ```
    <?php code(); // goes in backticks ?>
    ```
